NSW the big winner from federal budget with $7.3 billion for new rail and road projects | AlexSmithSMH

The first federal budget after the NSW Coalition government was returned for a historic third term has revealed a tax cut of up to $1080 this financial year for more than 3 million residents.

A third crossing on the Hawkesbury River will be built with a $200 million investment and there will also be $254 million from the expanded Urban Congestion Fund for projects in Sydney and the Central Coast, targeting pinch points in Eastwood, Kirrawee and Sydney Olympic Park. Four routes between Sydney and regional cities would be considered, including Sydney to Canberra, Sydney to Nowra, Sydney to Newcastle and Port Macquarie and Sydney to the Central West.

Health and hospitals funding in NSW will increase by $1.1 billion between 2019-20 and 2022-23, including $761.3 million extra this year

NSW Now: Iconic Sydney pool may close without funding, Daley bows outMORNING BRIEFING: The iconic harbourside North Sydney pool may be forced to close if State or Federal Government funds are not forthcoming, while Michael Daley backs out of the Labor leadership race after the shortest tenure as leader in about 100 years. Glad-Bag won’t help she will just sell it a developer for more ugly apartments. Scandalous and stupid that this historic pool is not being carefully and sensibly looked after by govt and council. And just as bad that other pools are being let go. It’s... un-Australian❗️
